The Republic of Slovenia signed the RESC on 11 October 1997, the act on ratification was adopted by the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia on 11 March 1999 (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia – International Treaties [Uradni list RS – Mednarodne pogodbe], No. 7/99), and the RESC was ratified on 7 May 1999 and entered into force on 1 July 1999. In addition to the ratification of the RESC, the Republic of Slovenia also assumed responsibility for monitoring the commitments in the RESC in accordance with the procedure laid down by the Additional Protocol to the European Social Charter Providing for a System of Collective Complaints (hereinafter: Additional Protocol). In accordance with the existing reporting system, in 2020 the Republic of Slovenia issued a report on the implementation of the Articles of the RESC on health, social security and social protection covering the following rights: - The right to safe and healthy working conditions (Article 3); - The right to protection of health (Article 11); - The right to social security (Article 12); - The right to social and medical assistance (Article 13); - The right to benefit from social welfare services (Article 14); - The right of elderly persons to social welfare (Article 23); - The right to protection against poverty and social exclusion (Article 30). The last report on the implementation of the articles on health, social security and social protection was submitted by Slovenia to the Council of Europe in March 2013 for the reporting period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2011 (Twelfth National Report of the Republic of Slovenia on the implementation of the RESC). On the basis of the aforementioned Report, the European Committee of Social Rights (hereinafter: ECSR) adopted the Conclusions 2013 stating that the situation in Slovenia was in conformity with the RESC in 12 cases, but not in two cases (Articles 12§1 and 12§4). The ECSR deferred conclusions about the implementation of Articles 3§3, 3§4 and 23 because in order to adopt decisions they needed further information which Slovenia has provided in this report. The twentieth Report of the Republic of Slovenia on the implementation of the RESC concerns the reporting period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2019 and includes legislative and other measures in the aforementioned period, statistical and other data on the implementation of individual RESC provisions as directed in an annex from the Head of the Sector for the European Social Charter of the Directorate-General for Human Rights and the Rule of Law to the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Slovenia to the Council of Europe of 3 June 2020 (Ref. NAC/CL 39/2020; hereinafter: the Annex with Instructions) and answers to current questions from the European Social Rights Committee in its Conclusions 2013. In accordance with the Annex with Instructions, the report also includes some statistical data and mentions some of the measures taken to address the consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic in the Republic of Slovenia. 3 Article 3: THE RIGHT TO SAFE AND HEALTHY WORKING CONDITIONS With a view to ensuring the effective exercise of the right to safe and healthy working conditions, the Parties undertake, in consultation with employers’ and workers’ organisations: 1. to formulate, implement and periodically review a coherent national policy on occupational safety, occupational health and the working environment. The primary aim of this policy shall be to improve occupational safety and health and to prevent accidents and injury to health arising out of, linked with or occurring in the course of work, particularly by minimising the causes of hazards inherent in the working environment; 2. to issue safety and health regulations; 3. to provide for the enforcement of such regulations by measures of supervision; 4. to promote the progressive development of occupational health services for all workers with essentially preventive and advisory functions 3§1 Health and safety at work and working environment Information to be submitted a) Please provide information about policy formulation processes and practical arrangements made to identify new or emerging situations, that represent a challenge to the right to safe and healthy working conditions; also provide information on the results of such processes and of intended future developments. b) With particular reference to COVID-19, provide specific information on the protection of frontline workers (health-care staff including ambulance crews and auxiliary staff; police and other first responders; police and military personnel involved in assistance and enforcement; staff in social- care facilities, for example for older people or children; prison and other custodial staff; mortuary services; and others involved in essential services, including transport and retail; etc.). Such information should include details of instructions and training, and also the quantity and adequacy of personal protective equipment provided to workers in different contexts. Please provide analytical information about the effectiveness of those measures of protection and statistical data on health outcomes. c) If the previous conclusion was one of non-conformity, please explain whether and how the problem has been remedied. If the previous conclusion was deferred, please reply to the questions raised. a) The purpose of the Resolution on the National Programme of Health and Safety at Work 2018-2027 (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia [Uradni list RS], No. 23/18) is to connect all stakeholders in the system of health and safety at work in order to join forces and cooperate in the realisation of the generally accepted vision in the field of health and safety at work in Slovenia, according to their best abilities and in compliance with their mission; in setting these objectives, changes in society were taken into account. The National Programme of Health and Safety at Work 2018-2027 thus emphasises the need to bear in mind that rapid technological changes are leading to an increasingly radical change in the working environment and that automation, robotisation and digitisation have a significant impact on the organisation of work, working hours, skills required for the performance of work, working conditions and social dialogue. Conscious that all sectors of the economy are changing and new forms of employment and work are being created, the National Programme of Health and Safety 4 at Work 2018-2027 defines the measures to achieve strategic objectives aimed at the safety and health of workers working in new forms of work and employment. These are: - Preparation and implementation of a campaign on health and safety at work for workers working in new forms of work and employment; - Promotion of lifelong learning regarding health and safety at work, including the promotion of exchange of knowledge and experience between younger and older workers through mentoring and reverse mentoring; - Disseminating among the general public and experts the findings of the latest research on new forms of work and employment implemented by the ILO, Eurofound, EU-OSHA and other research institutions; - Promotion of research on the consequences of new forms of work and employment for health and safety at work. National Programme of Health and Safety at Work 2018-2027 is available in English at the following link: https://www.gov.si/assets/ministrstva/MDDSZ/VZD-/Resolution-2018-2027.pdf b) At the time of the first wave of the COVID-19 epidemic, the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities (MDDSZ) published the Recommendations of the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities to ensure safety and health at work in a situation where an epidemic due to the COVID-19 virus has been declared in the Republic of Slovenia; the Recommendations are available online (https://www.gov.si/assets/ministrstva/MDDSZ/VZD- /Priporocila-MDDSZ-za-VZD_dop2Kfin_1_.pdf). The recommendations are not written for specific occupations; they apply to all professions in general, taking into account the risk assessment for individual specific jobs in which workers perform their duties.
